Dear members of the /Journal of Mathematics and Music/ Editorial Board,

Would you kindly distribute the following Call for Proposals to any
e-mail lists that you think might be interested? (The Society for
Mathematics and Computation in Music is the parent organization of
our journal.)

Thank you, and I hope to see you in New Haven in June.

Best wishes,

MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTATION IN MUSIC 2009 / JOHN CLOUGH MEMORIAL
CONFERENCE
www.mcm2009.info

*** Important Dates ***

January 30, 2009 Submission of papers, tutorials and panels
March 12, 2009 Notification of acceptance
March 27, 2009 Camera-ready submissions
June 19-22, 2008 MCM 2009 / John Clough Memorial Conference

*** Call for Participation ***

The joint Second International Conference on Mathematics and
Computation in Music (MCM 2009) and the John Clough Memorial
Conference will take place June 19-22, 2009 (Friday through Monday)
at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, USA.

The International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in
Music, MCM, is the flagship conference of the Society for
Mathematics and Computation in Music. The inaugural conference of
the society took place in 2007 in Berlin. The s tudy of mathematics
and music dates back to the time of the ancient Greeks. The rise of
computing and the digital age has added computation to this august
tradition. MCM aims to provide a dedicated platform for the
communication and exchange of ideas amongst researchers in
mathematics, informatics, music theory, composition, musicology, and
related disciplines.

The John Clough Memorial Conference honors a mathematical music
theorist whose research modeled the virtues of collaborative work
across the disciplines, and who generously fostered a cooperative
attitude with and among younger researchers. The quadrennial
conferences that Clough first organized at Buffalo in 1993
positioned neo-Riemannian theory on the map of musical scholarship.
The John Clough Memorial Conference carries the spirit of those
sessions beyond his passing in 2003, while embracing the entire
domain of mathematical music theory.

We welcome original and high quality contributions – incl uding
research papers, invited sessions or panels, tutorials, and
exhibits – in all areas related to the mission of the society. To
promote objectivity and fairness in judging research paper
contributions, the peer review process will be double-blind.

As part of the conference, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript
Library at Yale University will mount a special display of music and
mathematics material from their collection. Submissions on the
history of mathematical music theory are particularly encouraged,
especially if they engage with Beinecke holdings.

The proceedings of the conference will be published by the new
Springer series on Computational Music Science.

*** Submission Guidelines ***

Please read the paper submission guidelines carefully, as these
instructions combine practices in the humanities and
science/engineering traditions.

1. Papers

Submissions are to come in the form of complete papers, rather than
proposals for work to be co mpleted later. All papers will be judged
according to their novelty, content, presentation, and contribution
to the field. Paper submissions should satisfy the following conditions:

• submission must consist of original contributions not previously
published, and not currently being considered for publication elsewhere
• formatting must comply with guidelines and templates available on
the conference webpage (www.mcm2009.info)
• maximum length of the paper is 3,000 words
• graphics, if any, should preferably be embedded in the text; they
may also be appended at the end on supplementary pages
• papers should be prefaced by a 150 to 200-word abstract; this is
not included in the word count for the submission

All submissions will be subject to double-blind peer review.
Submitters may be asked to respond to initial reviews during the
last week of February. Authors of accepted papers will be notified
no later than March 12, and must submit final revisions , came ra
ready, by March 27.

Presentations based on the papers will be 20 minutes long, with 10
minutes for questions and discussion.

Authors should bring their own laptops and other appropriate
equipment for presentations of accepted papers.

At least one author must register for the conference before
submitting the camera-ready version.

2. Panels

Panels should offer lively and provocative discussions on topics of
particular interest to the community. Rather than offering a series
of paper presentations, panel sessions should be structured so as to
engage the audience in thoughtful and constructive dialogue with the
panelists. Submissions should be emailed to panels@mcm2009.info as
pdf files containing a 1-2 page abstract providing the following
details:

• the topic and issues to be discussed,
• short biographies of the moderator and panelists, and
• any special requirements.

3. Tutorials

Tutorials should concentra ting o n a single topic, and last
approximately 3 hours, including a break. Submissions should be
emailed to tutorials@mcm2009.info as pdf files containing a 1-2 page
abstract with the following details:

• an outline of the tutorial topic,
• the intended and expected audience,
• short biography of the presenter(s), and
• any special requirements.

4. Exhibits

Throughout MCM 2009, space will be available for publishers,
software companies, booksellers, service providers, system vendors,
and other businesses interested in exhibiting their MCM-related
products. They are invited to contact the program committee via
email to exhibits@mcm2009.info regarding exhibition space.

We look forward to seeing you in New Haven,
